    Hi,

    Researching the ongoing problem with aphids on my Buddeliah, which are now turning the lovely new leaves curly, lead me to find a site that said to mix washing up liquid and water put it in a spray bottle to spray the aphids every day.

    BUT it didn't say if 'normal' washing up liquid was OK. I use a normal cruelty-free one, is that OK, or should I buy a particular type please, I don't want to damage the plant. :spinning:

    Thank you.
